4Stop

“Can a single-API KYC/KYB data orchestration hub aggregate enough global premium data sources and anti-fraud tooling to become the compliance backbone for regulated fintechs and payment providers worldwide?”

The story

Founded in 2016 as a fraud prevention provider, 4Stop evolved into a comprehensive KYC, KYB, compliance and anti-fraud orchestration hub, aggregating 400–1800 global data sources into a single API. After partnering with Jumio in 2019, Jumio acquired 4Stop in December 2021 to fold its data marketplace and orchestration hub into Jumio's broader end-to-end identity platform, enabling full customer lifecycle management including KYC, KYB and AML. Post-acquisition, 4Stop's website and brand are maintained but the entity effectively operates as part of Jumio's product suite.
